But we know the truth, hmm?
Now the fact that I am still wearing my pirate’s patch on my right eye might sound romantic to some…
Oh, all right, in reality it is a BIG NOPE and I look like a DOPE!
It isn’t lovely or an envious way to be, or very attractive either.
You see, it is basic black, which more than goes with most everything and it is winter in paradise and we here too do wear the essentials to be fashionable.
Although I have to admit there is still a bit of a chill in the air…it is in the seventies Fahrenheit, seventy-one right now to be exact at six-ish in the P.M., for my Celsius foreign friends you can do the conversion.
The problem is the fit; like many of these types of things, I do believe that they, the manufacturers think that one size fits all!
Now, I ask you all if you wear different hat sizes? This thing has a basic black elastic to keep it affixed to my noggin; how can that be?
Mainly, I do have a small cranium (No jokes about a small head and small brain please!); it only appears larger when I have longer hair and might pile it on top; which has not been in recent years…
And even though the elastic makes it of course adjustable, but still it does slide over the remaining eye, the left, of course the one that is left would be the left one, ha, and occasionally blurs that sight as well…NO FUN! And hardly romantic or very pretty!
When this happens it is sneaky and I don’t realize it, actually, Hubby has had to tell me when this has occurred. Sixteen more days to go until I see, hopefully see, the eye doc once again and get my clean bill of health or need some other procedure. Let me pray that I don’t!
The fact that I do not look jaunty on my best of days, or if the rest of the Blackbeards or other Pirates of the Caribbean are awaiting my arrival to aid them in their past-time of kidnapping and plundering, or whatever they do these days… Oh, that’s right, steal other people’s vessels and kill people! Just Horrible!
And as I understand it is considered a lonely life to be one of them… and very few, if any are women of any age; least of all, what mine would be considered, an advanced age of over the hill.
Any-who, we are a tough lot us used to be New Jerseyians and although I am not proud of my odd addition to my current more than not too pretty appearance I will still leave the compound to go out into the world for whatever may lie in wait for me, huh?
I meant whatever there may be something to attract my interest in that outer world, for me and Hubby and our brave canine, Skipper to investigate periodically we shall leave our comfy domicile and venture out! I hear tell there is a sailboat race this week over by River City, Argh, perhaps we shall find ourselves a vessel or two to meet our fancies!
On that strange ending of the weird child of normal parentage, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
